wedding ! Done right , they ’re a chance to observe rightful love life anddrink mid - shelf liquor with your closest friend … all while enjoying make it trays ofbacon - wrapped scallopsand some of Stevie Wonder ’s more notable former works .
Done legal injury ? Everyone will remember you incessantly as that guy ( or gal ! ) who completely deflower everything and became a harbinger of a near - certain former divorce . Or , you know , they ’ll all just privately kind of think you ’re the bad .
But revere not : you’re able to sail the twenty-four hour period - long minefield of faux pas with this scout to everything you should n’t be doing . publish it out , laminate it , and bring it to the wedding with you .

await no ! That was a joke ! You seriously thought about it . Oh mankind , this is worse than we thought .
Here it goes :
Showing up late to the ceremony
There is no such thing as fashionably late to a hymeneals . You should be seat at least 10 minute before the posted go meter . Yes , this even plump for unfathomably long Catholic wedding ceremony – hold off … now it ’s the unity candela ? ! Will this affair ever stop ?
Bringing a flask
If it ’s a sottish wedding , you most assuredly are not run short to ask it . And if it ’s a dry wedding … well , that sucks . But you still have to kind of breastfeed it up and respect the wishing of the couple in question , up until the meter you sprint to a bar the second base the ceremony ’s over .
Making the bride or groom drink too much too early
A drink or two while get ready is evenhandedly common practice , especially because there ’s in general a crew of waiting around before the show starts ( specially on the groom side ) . But again , there is probable to be no shortage of drinks on this twenty-four hour period . You do n’t want them to be fire - respiration whisky in the minister ’s face during vows .
Checking your phone during the wedding ceremony
Slate ’s most recent thoughts on physical structure shaming can expect 30 minutes .
Speaking now rather than forever holding your peace
Note : this does not put on if you are in a quixotic comedy and/or Justin Long .
Acting like you’re the wedding photographer
No one needs to move out of your line of sight , because you ’re not the damn – look , are you just READING SLATE AGAIN ? ! ! ?
Bringing an unexpected plus-one
If you were important enough to get a particular date , they would have evidence you .
Bringing an unexpected plus-three children
If kids are n’t invite , kids are n’t ask over . And do n’t try that " babysitter fell through " stuff . There was never any babysitter ! Everyone sees through your game .
Getting over-aggressive with the passed apps
There ’s nothing ill-timed with strategically positioning yourself around prime host routes . BUT ! If you ’re following the catering staff around and snapping up all the bull in a blanket for yourself , you ’ve pop off too far . right passed - app etiquette is a delicate dance . You have to act surprised every prison term they show up and be all , " Oh , I really should n’t have another , but they ’re so good ! "
Asking for non-essential meal modifications
No one cares that you do n’t really like arborio Elmer Leopold Rice .
Complaining about the bar situation
Look , no one likes a Johnny Cash bar , but weddings are dotty expensive and some mass have to do what they have to do . At least have the decency to kvetch about it behind their backs after the wedding is over .
Stiffing the bartenders
If you had to make your increasingly garish and wonky ego whisky and Cokes all night , would n’t you want a few extra dollars for the trouble ?
Shots
They are both unnecessary and a really bad theme , even if the DJ happens to play that damn LMFAO Song dynasty .
Dressing inappropriately
This is very round-eyed . The invitation will designate dress . If you do n’t know what " Formal " or " Beach Formal " or " micro chip ' n Dale Rescue Ranger Casual " think of , just ask . Then follow said directions . If you ’re the only one get into jean and one of those old Western - manner vests , you ’re going to experience speculative about yourself even if you do admittedly attend pretty cool .
Giving an uninvited toast
You are not Vince Vaughn and this is notWedding Crashers . Speaking of …
Quoting any part ofWedding Crashers
o.k. , okay – if someone is making balloon animals for some odd reason , it ’s permissible to scream , " Make me a cycle , clown ! " close of exceptions .
Making obnoxious song requests
There is a special place in inferno for the person who badgers a wedding DJ into playing the " Cha Cha Slide . " Or " The Chicken Dance . " Or " Macarena . "
remark : the postulation matter exit out the window if the DJ is doing a demonstrably risky job and the couple is actually imploring guests to please do something about it , which has been known to happen !
Grinding with the bride’s mom. Or dad.
There ’s nothing a bride / bridegroom wants to see less during the happy day of their life history than the multitude who bring them into this existence thrusting to Next ’s " Too Close . "
Moshing
The exception here , of course of study , is if you ’re at the wedding ceremony for the tip Isaac Bashevis Singer of Rage Against the Machine . In 1997 .
Flash mobs of any kind
What ’s your endgame here , feeling like it ’s 2009 again , or land a client spot onEllenduring a in particular dull summertime week ?
Live-tweeting

Starting a political argument
This is not the place for everyone to hear your discriminating thoughts on Bernie Sanders . Also , you ’ve been post them every twenty-four hours on Facebook for the last five months so everyone sort of have it already .
That dumb necktie-around-the-head thing
" Yeah , the wedding was kinda underwhelming for a while , until motherfucking Chet took off his necktie and tied it around his psyche when ' Brick House ' came on . After that , it was ON . " suppose no one ever .
